Description:
The Emerson Worldwide Hi-Fi Stereo VHS VCR is the perfect item for those who want to play videotapes in any global format. International television formats NTSC, PAL, and SECAM are supported for both recording and playback. Despite the overwhelming number of available video-format combinations, the EWW7000 succeeds at simplifying the conversion process; all you have to do is pop in the videotape and press Play. We were impressed with the automatic input detection feature, which instantly recognizes the format your tape is recorded in and converts the signal for playback on your monitor or TV set. You can also use the EWW7000 to record programming delivered in the NTSC, PAL, or SECAM formats for playback on the VHS-cassette format. The player automatically converts the TV signal as it records. If you want to bypass the auto-detection feature, you can specify your preferred input and output format instead. This global VCR also lets you play programs that you recorded in another country--an excellent feature considering that the alternative is to send your tape to a costly dubbing-and-conversion facility. Despite the multiformat functionality, the video quality does not suffer when converted from format to format. We found the picture and sound quality to be comparable to midpriced four-head VCR models. The unit's time-base correction feature, which delivers clean video images and clear audio, enhances the conversion quality. Another helpful feature of the EWW7000 is the built-in automatic digital-tracking and voltage-switching features. The intuitive recording-and-playback interface further increase the functionality of the EWW7000. If you plan to do a lot of traveling or prefer international video programming, the EWW7000 is the perfect global VCR for you. Pros:
- Auto-detection conversion process
- Supports world video formats (NTSC, PAL, and SECAM)
- Intuitive interface makes recording and playback simple
- Good quality video (4-head VCR)
Cons:
- Multisystem video features are unnecessary for most VCR consumers
